A Sterne, Agee & Leach analyst on Wednesday upgraded shares of First Horizon National Corp., parent company of First Tennessee Bank, saying the regional banks loan portfolio is stabilizing and it may return more money to shareholders this year.

Todd Hagerman lifted his rating on First Horizons shares to Neutral from Underperform.

Shares of the Memphis-based bank closed at $10.48 on Tuesday, and have nearly doubled since hitting a 52-week low of $5.38 on Oct. 4.

Still, Hagerman sees limited potential for the shares to rise significantly. The benefit to the bank from improving credit trends will moderate this year and next year, he said. He kept intact his 2012 and 2013 earnings estimates.
